MUCH more interesting than the news and not nearly as depressing! <br /><br />Someone is getting shot, there's car accidents galore, crime, drama, blood and gore... And that's just the morning edition. Noon, 5 o'clock, 10 o'clock- just the names have changed, but it's all still the same. Throw in all of the political back and forth, nobody agrees and even if they do, they won't admit is because of party lines drawn in the sand and there you have it.<br /><br />If he reads your blog, then you blew the surprise of his gift for his birthday. Shhhh :-) <br /><br />My mom just mentioned trimming her rose bushes. They are just starting to bloom too. She said one of the things about trimming them is to trim them to the way you want them to grow. One of these days maybe we can run over there and you can see hers. She has about 20-30+ bushes bordering her front yard and porch. Absolutely gorgeous. You can also check out the peas, beets, tomato's and peppers... There's also the rose gardens at MCC. Lots to see there.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-40659543785705236222014-03-16T12:42:31.539-07:002014-03-16T12:42:31.539-07:00Your morning routine sounds exactly like mine.

There are a few that you may need to pay a small subscription for, but almost every paper has gone digital, most of the info is free.. Even the obituaries...I am quite envious of the vast amount of space you have.

I thought they just didn't like horses, but then they confessed that they got sick from hay allergies every time they came to visit. I can never stay at someone's house if they own cats. I tried it at my mother's house for years, but I'd blow my nose so much that I'd get blisters on my nose, and the headaches where blinding. Once her cat passed away, I visited her more regularly. <br /><br />I find reading horse blogs to be more helpful and interesting than reading the news too, especially since the news stories don't change much from one edition to the next. Other reasons too...Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-49984796991334778162014-03-16T11:17:38.975-07:002014-03-16T11:17:38.975-07:00I will post some pics soon.

We have taken out the head and heel box, and chute. TC is kind of anti-roper, and refuses to let me have cows to learn on. He keeps wanting to take out the catch pen as well, but I won't let him. I use it every once in a while to catch my horses when they ae in the pasture and being buttheads. Plus it has shade so if the horses are out to pasture and it is really hot, I can leave the gate open to the pen and they have access to shade. <br /><br />If I could find a job as an apprentice for a good trimmer, I would jump on that in a heartbeat. Of course finding a "good trimmer" is subjective. I also have the option of boarding horses here, and in fact have two gals who are just waiting for the chance to board here. So that is an option too. <br /><br />My rose bushes were here when I moved in. When I first got here, they had nothing on them. Just when I was ready to trim them all back they took off and have been blooming like crazy ever since. Pruning and thorns have not really been an issue yet, but I know that won't last for ever.

Funny you mention Rose bushes, I was just at the plant nursery yesterday and almost picked a couple up but then I thought about the thorns and pruning...<br /><br />Having a job in the equine field would be awesome. After all the horse trimming stuff you're learning about you could probably do farrier work too :)L.L.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942771779406180758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1551110757601242898.post-38395198780684516562014-03-16T08:12:49.075-07:002014-03-16T08:12:49.075-07:00You have roses blooming?
